FEMA has a program to pay up to $9000 to reimburse persons who paid for funerals for people who died from Covid. There is a limitation on the total per family.
This is, in my view, a ridiculous program. Taxpayers who got vaccinated and boosted have to pay for funerals for people who refused vaccination and died because of their stupidity? Of course, some who died did so before vaccinations were available, and some despite vaccinations. But to use taxpayer money to pay for funerals for people who chose to accept the risk of non-vaccination?
The federal government (meaning taxpayers) does not, to my knowledge, pay for funerals of people who die from cancer, heart attacks, complications of diabetes, car accidents and so forth.
Sometimes, I don't understand our government. Well, actually, a lot of times.
